Enjoy the scent of the lotus flowers and take a leisurely stroll around the Lotus Pond.
"The Lotus Pond was here before Beijing," Lotus Pond Park has a long history and is filled with the rich scent of flowers. The lotus flowers slowly reveal their beauty along the way, showing endless softness and elegance. It's a feast for the eyes!
The hotel is also not far from the Century Altar, the Military Museum, and Yuyuantan Park!
If you're interested in stewed pork, there's a small but long-established restaurant across the footbridge outside the west gate. It's delicious and highly recommended!

Lotus Pond Park~ I was lucky to see the conjoined lotus
To see the conjoined lotus, I specially moved up my lotus-viewing plan:
Indeed, I was not disappointed, I saw the conjoined lotus that was about to bloom, and there was one that had already bloomed;
It was the weekend, and there were a lot of people, but fortunately, the area covered by the flowers was large, so the crowd was somewhat dispersed;
The weather was very cooperative, the north wind was a bit cool, and it didn't feel hot; there were more varieties of lotus flowers this year than in previous years, and they were not affected by the rain, blooming just right;
The lotus flowers in the pond had also bloomed, with many colors, very beautiful; besides the flower admirers, there were many people singing and exercising in the park, creating a great atmosphere;
Friends who like lotus flowers, hurry up and take action.

Emerging from the mud unsoiled, living as summer flowers, the lotuses in Lianhuachi Park are in full bloom
Upright in character, not sprawling or branching, the fragrance is far-reaching and enhances the clarity, standing tall and pure. I alone love the lotus for rising out of the dirty mud unsoiled, washed by the pure water without becoming enchanting. (Song Dynasty·Zhou Dunyi·On the Love of the Lotus)
Next to Beijing West Railway Station, Lianhuachi Park, with a summer rain, officially welcomes the blooming of the lotuses. The various lotuses in the square, lake, potted, and aquatic plants are blooming competitively, colorful and diverse.

The fairy-tale-like late cherry blossom park in Beijing is right here
"It's rare to have leisure in springtime, and the most beautiful is the April days in the human world." April in Beijing is truly wonderful! The city's crabapples and cherry blossoms are all in bloom, and when the wind blows, it's a shower of flowers everywhere. The weather is also particularly comfortable,
with sunshine but not scorching, and a gentle breeze that's not cold.
I've discovered a hidden gem of a park and have come here for two days in a row,
where the crabapples and cherry blossoms are mostly in full bloom, with branches hanging low,
making it very suitable for portrait photography,
and also especially fitting for picnics under the trees. The main thing is that it's not crowded, with hardly any tourists,
and the 20-minute park theory can be fully verified here!

Spring in Beijing is so beautiful
The late cherry blossoms are blooming~!
Some of the best places to view late cherry blossoms in Beijing include Yuyuantan, Lianhuachi, and Sida Park.
The late cherry blossoms in Lianhuachi Park are the best for photography.
The forest area is large, and you can freely take photos of the vast sea of flowers.
The trees are unpruned, with branches hanging from the canopy to the ground. The key is that you can enter the forest without any fences, which is very suitable for portrait photography!!!
There are also significantly fewer people compared to Yuyuantan.

Beijing West Railway Station's "Waiting Hall" Grand Garden
This Lotus Pond Park is also a garden with history. The east gate is right next to the south square of Beijing West Railway Station, and the park is open all year round with free admission. If you're heading to the West Station to catch a train and arrive early, why not sit here for a while? The park isn't very big and doesn't have any historic famous buildings, but there is a lake in the middle. In summer, you can go boating. Oops, I misspoke... In summer, "the wealthy" can go boating, as it's really expensive to do so here! A few ducks and mandarin ducks are swimming happily on the water, all looking forward to the arrival of spring!
